How do you share Lean Six Sigma success with stakeholders?

2 Collect and analyze data

The next step is to collect and analyze data to support your Lean Six Sigma project. Data is the foundation of any Lean Six Sigma project, as it helps you identify the root causes of the problem, validate your hypotheses, test your solutions, and quantify your improvements. You should use appropriate data collection methods and tools, such as surveys, interviews, observations, checklists, or charts, and follow the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) cycle to structure your data analysis. You should also use statistical and graphical techniques, such as histograms, Pareto charts, control charts, or regression analysis, to display and interpret your data.

3 Create and deliver a report

The third step is to create and deliver a report that summarizes your Lean Six Sigma project and showcases your success. A report is a formal and structured way of presenting your project to your stakeholders, and it should include the following elements: an executive summary, an introduction, a problem statement, a goal statement, a project scope, a project team, a project timeline, a project methodology, a data analysis, a solution implementation, a result evaluation, a benefit realization, a risk assessment, a lesson learned, a recommendation, and a conclusion. You should use clear and concise language, avoid jargon and technical terms, and highlight the key points and achievements of your project. You should also use visual aids, such as graphs, tables, diagrams, or photos, to illustrate your data and results.
